Hospice Finances

Posted on by April 15, 2011

We have much to thank the congregation of St Paul’s Parish, our friends and visitors for over recent years, between them they have raised a remarkable amount of money in support of the St Michael’s Hospice.

In this modern world it is felt that it is right to be transparent in all our undertakings and only fair that parishioners should see how the money is generated and to where it is going. We will be publishing the monthly income from now on starting with March 2011.

To view the latest figures please go to Hospice:Accounts on the main menu or click HERE.

You can also see the accounts for March income and expenditure on the Church notice board and in the Hospice shops. There are two new parts to the scheme coming up soon.
